I've been busy running my kids around to baseball games and practices, and swim team meets and practices, but we stopped by a little pond today on the way home from a swim meet to see if they could catch some bluegills. I hadn't even got the other rods together before my oldest son (almost 9) had a nice smallmouth bass (>1 lb), and I had to stop to help him get it off the hook. I was thinking that it was going to be a blast, but ... a couple hours later, and we had only caught a couple more tiny largemouth. One was so tiny (<4") that I didn't know he was on until I went to cast and yanked him out of the water.
We still had fun. My kids enjoyed it. I let them each pick out a $4 lure, so now they're dreaming big dreams of catching bigger bass.
